We invite submissions for the workshop Theoretical Linguistics at School, which aims to promote the integration of theoretical linguistics into secondary education. In the Netherlands, upcoming curriculum reforms for Dutch and modern foreign languages (SLO 2024/2025) mark a significant paradigm shift.

As destinations compete for visibility in an increasingly global and digital environment, where traveller expectations shift rapidly, where the challenges for destinations in terms of sustainability and managing tourism responsibility become imperative, the ability to mediate experiences and translate local identity into co

Description: Whistled languages offer a natural laboratory for studying how human speech can be acoustically reduced yet remain intelligible. This interdisciplinary workshop explores their phonetic, phonological, and neurocognitive dimensions across the world—from Greek Sfyria to Silbo Gomero and Tashlhiyt Berber.

Argumentaire: La poésie française est souvent étudiée dans la continuité de ses fondements antiques, grecs et latins, en particulier sur les plans thématiques et génériques. En revanche, le recours des poètes à l’étymologie a fait l’objet d’études plus sporadiques ou intégrées à de plus vastes enquêtes linguistiques (Rigolot 1977 ; Demonet 1992), alors que l’histoire d’un mot, depuis son berceau grec ou latin principalement, a de longue date passionné les poètes. Ces journées d’étude proposent

Edith W. Clowes conceptualises post-Soviet culture in Russia on the Edge: Imagined Geographies and Post-Soviet Identity (Cornell University Press, 2011) and “The Return of Eurasia: Imagining Empire in Post-Soviet Russia” (Ab Imperio, 3 (2005), 69–96).

Focus: Forensic linguistics, forensic speech science, and artificial intelligence Description: The theme of this year's Forensics Summer School will be protection, privacy, and proactive synthesis.
